Description
SEED TREATMENT METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The symbiosis between the gram-negative soil bacteria, Rhizobiaceae and Bradyrhizobiaceae, and legumes such as soybean, is well documented. The biochemical basis for these relationships includes an exchange of molecular signaling, wherein the plant-to-bacteria signal compounds include flavones, isoflavones and flavanones, and the bacteria-to-plant signal compounds, which include the end products of the expression of the Bradyrhizobial and Rhizobial nod genes, known as lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LC0s). The symbiosis between these bacteria and the legumes enables the legume to fix atmospheric nitrogen and thereby grow in soil that has low assimilable nitrogen levels, thus obviating a need for nitrogen fertilizers.
Since nitrogen fertilizers can significantly increase the cost of crops and are associated with a number of polluting effects, the agricultural industry continues its efforts to exploit this biological relationship and develop new agents and methods for improving plant yield without increasing the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The present invention provides methods of enhancing plant growth and crop production in which the beneficial effect of a plant signal molecule (plant growth-enhancing agent) may be obtained without the need to apply the plant signal molecule (plant growth-enhancing agent) to the seed contemporaneously with planting. The present invention is based, in part, on the discovery that treatment of seeds with a plant signal molecule Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 such as an LCO, followed by prolonged storage prior to planting, results in enhanced plant growth, including greater plant yield and/or leaf surface area and/or root number, length and mass, compared to plants harvested from both untreated seeds. The present invention also provides methods of enhancing plant growth and crop production in which additional improvements may be obtained over plants crops produced from seeds treated just prior to or within a week or less of planting.
[0008] A
first aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of enhancing plant growth, comprising treating seed at least one month (thirty days) prior to planting with an effective amount of a plant signal molecule. In embodiments, the seed may be treated in accordance with the present method at 2 months prior to planting, at least 3 months prior to planting, at least 4 months prior to planting, at least 5 months prior to planting, at least 6 months prior to planting, at least
first aspect of the present invention is directed to a method of enhancing plant growth, comprising treating seed at least one month (thirty days) prior to planting with an effective amount of a plant signal molecule. In embodiments, the seed may be treated in accordance with the present method at 2 months prior to planting, at least 3 months prior to planting, at least 4 months prior to planting, at least 5 months prior to planting, at least 6 months prior to planting, at least
9 months prior to planting, at least 1 year prior to planting, at least 2 years prior to planting and in some embodiments, at least 3 years prior to planting.
[0009] The treatment is used to produce a plant (crop) that exhibits at least one of increased yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated seed. In particular embodiments, the treatment may be used to produce a plant (crop) that exhibits at least one of increased yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area compared to a plant (crop harvested from seed treated with the signal molecule just prior to or within a week or less of planting.

[0010] In certain embodiments of the present invention, the plant signal molecule is a lipo-chitooligosaccharide (LCO). In some embodiments, the LCO is recombinant. In other embodiments, Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 the LCO is synthetic. In other embodiments, the LCO is obtained from a microorganism, e.g., a species of Rhizobium selected from Rhizobium sp., Bradyrhizobium sp., e.g., Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Sinorhizobium sp. and Azorhizobium sp, or from an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus.
[0011] In other embodiments, the plant signal molecule is a chitinous compound such as a chito-oligomer (CO). In some embodiments, the CO is recombinant. In other embodiments, the CO is synthetic. In other embodiments, the CO is obtained from a microorganism as per LCO's.
[0012] In other embodiments, the plant signal molecule is a flavonoid. In other embodiments, the plant signal molecule is jasmonic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid or a derivative thereof. In other embodiments, the plant signal molecule is a karrikin.
[0013]
Combinations of two or more different plant signal molecules (or types thereof) may be used to treat the seed.
Combinations of two or more different plant signal molecules (or types thereof) may be used to treat the seed.
[0014] In other embodiments, the treating further comprises contacting the seed with at least one other agronomically beneficial agent, e.g., diazotroph (Rhizobial inoculant), mycorrhizal fungi, a phosphate solubilizing agent, herbicide, insecticide or a fungicide. In some embodiments, the treating entails spraying a composition comprising the plant signal molecule onto the seed, and in some other embodiments, the treating entails dripping the composition onto the seeds.
[0015] The method of the present invention is applicable to legumes and non-legumes alike. In some embodiments, the leguminous seed is soybean seed. In some other embodiments, the seed that is treated is non-leguminous seed such as a field crop seed, e.g., corn, or a vegetable crop seed.
[0016] The seed may be treated in accordance with the present method anywhere from one month (thirty days) up to 1 year, 2 years and in some embodiments, even 3 years prior to planting, depending on particular seed properties (viability after Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 storage) or industry standards. For example, soybean seeds are generally planted the following season, whereas corn seed can be stored for much longer periods of time including upwards of 3 years prior to planting.
[0017] The present invention also relates to seeds treated with a plant signal molecule/plant growth-enhancing agent, such as an LCO or CO, which have been stored for at least thirty-days up to 1 year, 2 years and in some embodiments, even 3 years prior to planting.
[0018] Yet another aspect of the present invention is directed to a planted seed which was treated with a plant signal molecule/plant growth-enhancing agent, such as an LCO or CO, which have been stored for at least thirty-days up to 1 year, 2 years and in some embodiments, even 3 years prior to planting.
[0019] A related aspect of the present invention is directed to a package comprising the treated seeds according to the present invention for purposes of planting subsequent to the treatment.
[0020] As demonstrated in the working examples, which include comparative experiments conducted under both greenhouse and field conditions, the benefits of signal molecules/plant growth-enhancing agents may be obtained even though the signal molecules are applied to a seed significantly prior to the time of planting and after prolonged storage period.
[0021] As further demonstrated in the working examples, which include comparative experiments conducted under both greenhouse and field conditions, embodiments of the present invention that entailed treatment of soybean seed with an LCO from Bradyrhizobium japonicum exhibited increased plant yield, leaf surface area, and increased root length and root volume compared to both untreated seed and seed treated with the LCO just prior to or within a week of planting.

[0030] LCO's used in embodiments of the invention may be recovered from bacterial strains that produce LCO's, such as Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 strains of Azorhizobium, Bradyrhizobium (including B.

japonicum), Mesorhizobium, Rhizobium (including R.
leguminosarum), Sinorhizobium (including S. meliloti), and bacterial strains genetically engineered to produce LCO's.
[0031] LCO's are the primary determinants of host specificity in legume symbiosis (Diaz, et al., Mol. Plant-Microbe Interactions /3:268-276 (2000)). Thus, within the legume family, specific genera and species of rhizobia develop a symbiotic nitrogen-fixing relationship with a specific legume host. These plant-host/bacteria combinations are described in Hungria, et al., Soil Biol. Biochem. 29:819-830 (1997), Examples of these bacteria/legume symbiotic partnerships include S.
me/i/oti/alfalfa and sweet clover; R. leguminosarum biovar viciae/peas and lentils; R. leguminosarum biovarphaseoli/beans;
Bradyrhizobium japonicum/soybeans; and R. leguminosarum biovar trifolii/red clover. Hungria also lists the effective flavonoid Nod gene inducers of the rhizobial species, and the specific LCO
structures that are produced by the different rhizobial species.
However, LCO specificity is only required to establish nodulation in legumes. In the practice of the present invention, use of a given LCO is not limited to treatment of seed of its symbiotic legume partner, in order to achieve increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to plants harvested from untreated seed, or compared to plants harvested from seed treated with the signal molecule just prior to or within a week or less of planting. Thus, by way of example, an LCO obtained from B. japonicum may be used to treat leguminous seed other than soybean and non-leguminous seed such as corn. As another example, the pea LCO obtainable from R. leguminosarum illustrated in Fig. 1 (designated LCO-V (C18:1), 5P104) can be used to treat leguminous seed other than pea and non-legumes too.

[0032] Also encompassed by the present invention is use of LCOs obtained (e.g., isolated and/or purified) from arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, such as fungi of the group Glomerocycota, e.g., Glomus intraradicus. The structures of representative LCOs obtained from these fungi are described in WO 2010/049751 and WO 2010/049751 (the LCOs described therein also referred to as "Myc factors").
[0033]
Further encompassed by the present invention is use of synthetic LCO compounds, such as those described in W02005/063784, and recombinant LCO's produced through genetic engineering. The basic, naturally occurring LCO structure may contain modifications or substitutions found in naturally occurring LCO's, such as those described in Spaink, Crit. Rev.
Plant Sci. 54:257-288 (2000) and D'Haeze, et al., Glycobiology /2:79R-105R (2002). Precursor oligosaccharide molecules (COs, which as described below, are also useful as plant signal molecules in the present invention) for the construction of LCOs may also be synthesized by genetically engineered organisms, e.g., as in Samain, et al., Carb. Res. 302:35-42 (1997).

[0034] LCO's may be utilized in various forms of purity and may be used alone or in the form of a culture of LCO-producing bacteria or fungi. For example, OPTIMIZE (commercially available from Novozymes BioAg Limited) contains a culture of B. japonicum that produces an LCO (LCO-V(C18:1, MeFuc), MOR116) that is illustrated in Fig. 2. Methods to provide substantially pure LCO's include simply removing the microbial cells from a mixture of LCOs and the microbe, or continuing to isolate and purify the LCO molecules through LCO solvent phase separation followed by HPLC chromatography as described, for example, in U.S. Patent 5,549,718. Purification can be enhanced by repeated HPLC, and the purifed LCO molecules can be freeze-dried for long-term storage.

[0039] In other embodiments, the seed are treated with jasmonic acid (JA, [1R-[1a,213(Z)]]-3-oxo-2-(pentenyl)cyclopentaneacetic acid) and its derivatives, linoleic acid ((Z,Z)-9,12-Octadecadienoic acid) and its derivatives, and linolenic acid ((Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid) and its derivatives. Jasmonic acid and its methyl ester, methyl jasmonate (MeJA), collectively known as jasmonates, are octadecanoid-based compounds that occur naturally in plants. Jasmonic acid is produced by the roots of wheat seedlings, and by fungal microorganisms such as Botryodiplodia theobromae and Gibbrella fujikuroi, yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), and pathogenic and non-pathogenic strains of Escherichia coli. Linoleic acid and linolenic acid are produced in the course of the biosyntthesis of jasmonic acid. Jasmonates, linoleic acid and linoleic acid (and their derivatives) are reported to be inducers of nod gene expression or LCO production by rhizobacteria. See, e.g., Mabood, Fazli, Jasmonates induce the expression of nod genes in Bradyrhizobium japonicum, May 17, 2001; and Mabood, Fazli, "Linoleic and linolenic acid induce the expression of nod genes in Bradyrhizobium japonicum," USDA 3, May 17, 2001.

Spray and drip treatment may be conducted by formulating an effective amount of the plant signal molecule in an agriculturally acceptable carrier, typically aqueous in nature, and spraying or dripping the composition onto seed via a continuous treating system (which is calibrated to apply treatment at a predefined rate in proportion to the continuous flow of seed), such as a drum-type of treater. These methods advantageously employ relatively small volumes of carrier so as to allow for relatively fast drying of the treated seed. In this fashion, large volumes of seed can be efficiently treated. Batch systems, in which a predetermined batch size of seed and signal molecule compositions are delivered into a mixer, may also be employed.
Systems and apparati for performing these processes are commercially available from numerous suppliers, e.g., Bayer CropScience, Gustafson.
Systems and apparati for performing these processes are commercially available from numerous suppliers, e.g., Bayer CropScience, Gustafson.
[0043] In another embodiment, the treatment entails coating seeds. One such process involves coating the inside wall of a round container with the composition, adding seeds, then rotating the container to cause the seeds to contact the wall and the composition, a process known in the art as "container coating". Seeds can be coated by combinations of coating methods. Soaking typically entails use of an aqueous solution containing the plant growth enhancing agent. For example, seeds can be soaked for about 1 minute to about 24 hours (e.g., for at least 1 min, 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 40 min, 80 min, 3 hr, 6 hr, 12 hr, 24 hr). Some types of seeds (e.g., soybean seeds) tend Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 to be sensitive to moisture. Thus, soaking such seeds for an extended period of time may not be desirable, in which case the soaking is typically carried out for about 1 minute to about 20 minutes.
[0044]
Without intending to be bound by any particular theory of operation, Applicants believe that even to the extent that the treating may not cause the plant signal molecule to remain in contact with the seed surface after treatment and during any part of storage, the signal molecule may achieve intended effects by a phenomenon known as seed memory or seed perception.
See, Macchiavelli and Brelles-Marino, J. Exp. Bot. 55(408):2635-40 (2004). Applicants also believe that following treatment the signal molecule, e.g., the LCO, diffuses toward the young developing radicle and activates symbiotic and developmental genes which results in a change in the root architecture of the plant. Notwithstanding, the compositions containing the plant signal molecule may further contain a sticking or coating agent to assist in adherence of the signal molecule to the seed. For aesthetic purposes, the compositions may further contain a coating polymer and/or a colorant.

For aesthetic purposes, the compositions may further contain a coating polymer and/or a colorant.
[0045] The effective amount of the plant signal molecule used to treat the seed, expressed in units of concentration, generally ranges from about 10-5 to about 10-14 M, and in some embodiments, from about 10-5 to about 10-11 M, and in some other embodiments from about 10-7 to about 10-8 M. Expressed in units of weight, the effective amount generally ranges from about 1 to about 400 pg/hundred weight (cwt) seed, and in some embodiments from about 2 to about 70 pg/cwt, and in some other embodiments, from about 2.5 to about 3.0 pg/cwt seed. The effective amount of the plant signal molecule, however, may be obtained by a suitable dosage response assay, preferably, in a greenhouse and/or field study.
[0046] The treatment may also involve contacting the seed, prior, simultaneously with or sequentially to the contacting Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 with the plant signal molecule, with an agriculturally/agronomically beneficial agent. As used herein and in the art, the term "agriculturally or argonomically beneficial" refers to agents that when applied to seeds result in enhancement (which may be statistically significant) of plant characteristics such as plant stand, growth, vigor or yield in comparison to non-treated seeds.
Representative examples of such agents that may be useful in the practice of the present invention includes, but is not limited to, diazotrophs, mycorrhizal fungi, herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, and phosphate solubilizing agents.

Summary of Working Examples
Summary of Working Examples
[0068] Examples 1 and 2 describe comparative field experiments using soybean seed that demonstrate that the claimed invention achieves increased plant yield. Seed were treated in accordance with the present invention at 5 months prior to planting with the commercial product Optimize which is a combination of Bradyrhizobium japonicum inoculant and LCO-V
(C18:1, MeFuc) (illustrated in Fig. 2), and with the pure LCO
alone, and at 4.5 months prior to planting with non-commercial (i.e., less pure) grades of Optimize and the LCO alone, and for purposes of comparison with these same plant signal molecules at the time of planting. Untreated seed was used as another control. The results, which are expressed in terms of the difference in grain yield, measured in units of bushels/acre, show that the methods of the claimed invention achieved an increase in soybean yield, relative to non-inventive methods (i.e., seed treated at time of planting and non-treated seed).

[0069] Examples 3 and 4 describe comparative experiments conducted in the greenhouse and which demonstrate that the claimed invention achieves increases in other plant growth characteristics. Example 3 describes an experiment that entailed treatment of soybean seed with pure LCO-V (C18:1, Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 MeFuc) one month and one year before planting. The soybean plants (including roots) were harvested ten days after planting.
Results, which are described in terms of differences in root length and volume, show the methods of the present invention achieve dramatic increases in these properties. Lastly, Example 4 describes experiments conducted with soybean seed treated with Optimize 55 days prior to planting and for purposes of comparison, soybean seed treated 7 days prior to planting and untreated seed. The results, expressed in units of mean surface area of first trifoliate leaves, show that the claimed invention enhances plant growth in this respect too.

Soil testing, conducted six months prior to planting, showed a soil pH of 6.8, an organic matter content of 5.3%, and phosphorus and potassium contents of 39 ppm and 139 ppm, respectively.
[0071] The plant signal molecules used in the trial were Optimize , a non-commercial grade of Optimize (NI-50S-1), pure LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc)(NI-50GREN-1) and a non-commercial grade of LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc)( NI-505-2CF). The soybean seed used in the study was Stine S2118. The plant signal molecules were sprayed onto seeds with/without dilution at a rate of 4.8 fl oz/cwt.
[0072] The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design, with a plot size of 10 feet by 50 feet (0.011 acres), with 7.5-inch row spacing. Four replications were conducted.
Seed were treated with the plant signal molecules 4.5 or 5 months prior to planting and just prior to planting, and were planted at a depth of 1 inch and at a seedling rate of 225,000 seeds per acre using a John DeereTM 750 NT grain drill. The pesticides Extreme and AMPS were both applied 11 days prior to planting (pre-emergence) at rates of 3.0 pt and 2.5 lb, Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 respectively. Assure II , Roundup WeatherMax and AMPS were all applied 46-days post-planting (post-emergent), at rates of 6.0 oz, 21 oz and 2.5 lb, respectively. Plants were harvested 4 months and 20 days after planting.

[0076] As reflected by the comparison between comparative (non-inventive) Group 2 and inventive Group 3, treatment of the soybean seed with the commercial-grade Optimize at 5 months pre-planting resulted in an increase in soybean yield of 1.5 bushels of soybean. As reflected by the comparison between Group 4 and inventive Group 5, treatment of soybean seed at 5 months pre-planting with pure LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc) alone resulted in an increase in soybean yield of 8.3 bushels/acre.
As reflected by the comparison between Group 2 and inventive Group 6, treatment of the soybean seeds 4.5 months prior to planting with the non-commercial grade of Optimize resulted in an increase in soybean yield of 3.0 bushels/acre. Lastly, as shown by the comparison between Group 4 and inventive Group 7, Date Regue/Date Received 2022-09-16 treatment of soybean seeds with the non-commercial grade of LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc) alone 4.5 months pre-planting increased soybean yield by 7.4 bushels/acre. Grain yield measurements were taken at a 13% seed moisture level.

[0077] EXAMPLE 2
[0078] A

[0079] The plant signal molecules used in the trial were same as in Example 1. The soybean seed used in the study was Stine S2118. The plant signal molecules were sprayed onto seeds with/without dilution at a rate of 4.8 fl oz/cwt.
[0080] The study was conducted in a randomized complete block design, with a plot size of 10 feet by 50 feet (0.011 acres), with 7.5-inch row spacing. Four replications were conducted.
Seed were treated with the plant signal molecules 4.5 or 5 months prior to planting and just prior to planting, and were planted at a depth of 1 inch and at a seedling rate of 225,000 seeds per acre using a John Deere 750 NT grain drill. The pesticides Extreme and AMPS were both applied 10 days prior to planting (pre-emergence) at rates of 3.0 pt and 2.5 lb, respectively. Assure II , Roundup WeatherMax and AMPS were all applied 45-days post-planting (post-emergent), at rates of 6.0 oz, 21 oz and 2.5 lb, respectively. Plants were harvested 4 months and 21 days after planting.

[0084] As reflected by the comparison between comparative (non-inventive) Group 2 and inventive Group 3, treatment of the soybean seed with the commercial-grade Optimize at 5 months pre-planting resulted in an increase in soybean yield of 4.5 bushels of soybean. As reflected by the comparison between Group 2 and inventive Group 6, treatment of the soybean seeds 4.5 months prior to planting with the non-commercial grade of Optimize resulted in an increase in soybean yield of 5.3 bushels/acre. As shown by the comparison between Group 4 and inventive Group 7, treatment of soybean seeds with the non-commercial grade of LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc) alone 4.5 months pre-planting increased soybean yield by 0.8 bushels/acre. The only negative response as reflected by the comparison between non-inventive Group 4 and inventive Group 5, showed that treatment of soybean seed at 5 months pre-planting with the pure LCO alone resulted in a decrease in 1.8 bushels/acre, a result attributable to unexplained variability associated with field trials. Grain yield measurements were taken at a 13% seed moisture level.

[0086] EXAMPLE 3
[0087] Soybean seeds treated with 10-714 pure LCO-V (C18:1, MeFuc) and stored at 15 C. Treated seeds and non-treated seeds (control) were planted 1 and 12 months after treatment in greenhouse pots containing sand:perlite (1:1 mixture).
Seedlings were grown for 10 days after seed plantings then seedlings were harvested, their roots cleaned and measured on the Winrhizo scanner. The Control seed was treated with an amount (wt) of water, corresponding to the amount (wt) of the experimental signal molecule composition (signal molecule +
carrier). The Control seed was stored under the same conditions as the experimental seed prior to planting and planted at the same time as the experimental seed in the same soil. The results are shown in Table 3.
